1/ Big news 🚨 — Crypto Funds Watch has officially acquired CryptoFundNews.

Jane Street was running an algorithm that dumped Bitcoin every single morning at 10am. Every day. For months. Crashing the price. Liquidating retail. Buying back lower. Rinse and repeat.

The second they got sued it stopped. The 10am dump disappeared. Now Bitcoin just had the best day in months.

One trading firm... That’s all it took to suppress the entire crypto market for months.

Now ask yourself how much of the crypto price action is even real. How many people panic sold because the charts look terrible. How many people got liquidated. How many billions were taken from regular people by a single trading desk.

And this is just the first one to get caught so far… it’s about to get VERY interesting.
